1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The anterior horn tear of the lateral meniscus, often accompanied with local parameniscal cysts, is usually managed by cysts debridement and meniscus repair with the outside-in technique (OIT). However, a big gap between the meniscus and anterior capsule would be produced after cysts debridement and be difficult to be closed by the OIT. Or, the OIT would result in knee pain because of the overly tight knots. Therefore, we devised an anchor repair technique. Following the cysts resection, the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus (AHLM) is fixed at the anterolateral edge of the tibial plateau with 1 suture anchor, and then followed by suturing the AHLM with the surrounding synovium to promote healing. We recommend this technique as an alternative method for repairing an AHLM tear accompanied with local parameniscal cysts.
